For children (ages 3-18) with autism or sensory sensitivities and their families
When words won’t do, sailors and aviators get creative! Discover the clever signals, symbols and codes used to communicate on Intrepid at sea and in the sky. Then, try out some of these ways to communicate with hands-on activities.
About Early Morning Openings: The Intrepid Museum offers Early Morning Openings for children with autism and their families before the Museum opens to the public! Families receive a sensory bag with interactive activities designed for the whole family, and explore the Museum without the crowds! Participants receive a social narrative ahead of time.
Registration info: Free with advance registration. Registration opens one month before the program date. Space is limited. If you have any questions, please contact: access@intrepidmuseum.org
